Atiyeh Chiropractic and Functional Neurology’s Healthy News for March 2017

In a new report, authors report on
treatment outcomes of patients who have implanted spinal
stimulators for pain management after back surgery. Patients with these
devices have “failed back surgery syndrome” with continued back pain post
surgically. After being treated with chiropractic spinal
manipulation or mobilization, patients with these stimulators reported no adverse side effects. (1) The first rule of being a
physician is “Do no harm”. Spinal manipulation and mobilization meet that rule
in this study’s findings. Atiyeh Chiropractic and Functional Neurology offers Plymouth
chiropractic care that does not harm. Schedule a visit today!

Chronic Neck Pain Patients Walk More Stiffly

Patients with chronic neck pain have a shorter stride and less
thoracic spinal rotation when walking. This will likely have long term effects on the
spine. (2) Atiyeh Chiropractic and Functional Neurology’s
best advice: Don’t let neck pain become chronic. Get Plymouth
chiropractic care relief sooner than later, and walk less stiffly.

Post-Back Surgery or Not, Exercise 150 minutes a Week!

National guidelines suggest that we all
get 150 minutes of exercise a week. How many of us
Plymouth folks do? Just 52%! Sadly, even fewer - just 26% - post-back surgery
patients do this. It is shown that
150 minutes keeps post-surgical back pain patients moving and away from
another surgery. They also have
less back pain after surgery. (3)
Physical exercise is so effective. Atiyeh Chiropractic and Functional Neurology urges all of our
Plymouth chiropractic patients to do something every day like take a
little walk.

Pain Medications for Back and Leg Pain – Not Effective
Over Placebo

A meta-analysis, the
highest form of research reporting, shares that NSAIDSeven
though they are one of the most frequently prescribed
drugs for sciatic leg pain offer similar pain relief and overall improvement to
placebo with a higher risk of adverse side-effects. (4) Another
study shares that NSAIDS are effective for spinal pain but the
difference between NSAID relief and placebo relief is not clinically important.
It further says that there are no simple analgesics that give
clinically important relief over placebo. (5) Well, Atiyeh Chiropractic and Functional Neurology’s
non-drug Plymouth chiropractic care is pain-relieving! Contact Atiyeh Chiropractic and Functional Neurology today
for an appointment.

March may be the month of luck and green-leafed
clovers, but luck is also being prepared for the
opportunity/issue/problem before us. When it comes to back pain, neck pain, arm
pain and leg pain, Atiyeh Chiropractic and Functional Neurology is. Our Plymouth chiropractic care practice
is pleased to share these new advances and findings with our
Plymouth chiropractic friends and family!
